At the Temple











So here are some pictures from our wedding day.... finally. We had so much fun that day. It was the most amazing day EVER!!!! Thanks to everyone who made it possible!! I loved getting my pictures back. It was like I got to relive the whole day over again. I loved it :o)
















Sunday Best

So the funniest thing happened yesterday..... Zack and I went to church, and it was as it usually is- sounds more like a jungle gym rather than a church meeting. We had just sat down for Sunday school when the counselor came in and asked if he could talk to us for a min. So we left with him and he took us into the bishops office and asked if we would like a calling- the Sunbeams 5As- which translates to 3 & 4 year olds but something we could handle because we would be teaching together!! We were super pumped, and a little nervous I started talking to a lady in Relief Society and she was asking where we lived. I told her and then she said " Are you sure your in this ward? I have relatives that live in that community and they go to a different ward!!" So after relief society I asked someone else and they said " Ya you should be going to the Paradise Ward" So off I headed to find my husband and tell him that the ward we have been going to for the past 3 weeks is actually the wrong ward. I found him, then we headed to the bishops office. When we got there the counselor that gave us the calling just 2 hours before came up to us and said, " So I hear you really aren't in this ward" How funny is that!!! It was the Stake Pres that told us which ward to go to! Anyway, so now we have to start all over again- being the new couple in the ward, getting to know people, getting a calling (which Zack really hopes that we get the same calling so we can do it together. Which I totally wouldn't mind either... He would make the most awesome teaching partner.) So just a funny little sunday story. We laughed about it all day yesterday :o)

Bridals



















Here are some of my bridal pictures. They were taken at the Gardens at Thanksgiving point. It is such a beautiful place. If you haven't ever been there I would advise you to go. We took pictures for 4 hours!! I'm still waiting on my photographer to get the wedding day pictures back. So all I have for now are the bridals... anyway I have a lot more of them on my facebook page. Enjoy and hopefully soon I will get some pictures on here of our wedding.... since it has almost been a month!!!!! CrAzY! but loving every second of it.

What a Weekend!!

Zack and I just had an AMAZING weekend... Thanks to my parents!!! My parents came down to visit us. We had so much fun with them and it was so good to see them! Here is how our weekend went-

FRIDAY- Zack worked, I cleaned and then my parents got here with a load of stuff from the wedding!!! We unloaded the car and then got ready to go to the temple!! The temple was absolutely beautiful. It was such a great experience, and so much fun because that was my parents first time in the Vegas Temple. Then we went back to their hotel ( The Flamingo) changed our clothes and went to get something to eat. It was way past out bedtime, so we were super tired.

SATURDAY- We met up with my parents at noonish and went to the Rio for lunch. They have the BIGGEST buffet I have EVER seen. It was pretty good, and lots of fun to be with my parents. After eating prime rib, shrimp, mexican food, chinease food and some really good fruit we decided to head back to my parents hotel and change into our suits and head to the pool. It was so much fun. We got in the pool, caught some sun and had some really good margeritas( virgin of course) and then spent some more time in the pool. I was trying not to get my hair wet cuz I didn't want to wash it, but I just couldn't resist trying to dunk my hubby!! And I was successful- a couple of times. Then we went to the outlets and then to in-n-out for some delicious burgers!!!

SUNDAY- We went to the pool early in the morning. It was a little overcast when we got there so when the sun came out we got in the pool. Zack wasn't going to get in but when I splashed him he had no choice. Well, he jumped in after me and (not realizing it was only 3.5 feet deep) he smacked his foot on the bottom. Needless to say he hurt his foot REALLY BAD. I am hoping that he just bruised it. But I have a feeling he fractured it or something. He hasn't been able to walk on it since. :o( So that cut our swimming short so we headed back home and we all went to church. After church we went to the best sushi place ever!! We gorged on sushi till we were about to pop!!! It was so nummy. Then after that my parents headed back to good ol Aurora.

It was so good to see my parents. I was really starting to miss them. They were so much fun all weekend too. Thanks mom and dad.
(Sorry no pics we all forgot our cameras!! I really need to get better at not forgeting.)

Let the search begin

So I have been trying to find a job here in good ol' Sin City. And unless you want to be a bar-tender, a stripper or cleaning hotel rooms- a decent job is hard to find. I will keep my head up though, as this is just day 1 of the search. So if any of you know of any good jobs in LV let me know.

O and just so you all know Zack and I are doing great. Our first week on our home has been amazing. We have been to church the last 2 weeks and it has been interesting. We are in a VERY young ward. And when I say young the average age is probably, o I don't know, 7!!!!!! Lol :o) It will be fun though. There are so many kids. We feel totally out of place- we would need 2 kids and another on the way to fit in!! We do like the ward and everyone has been so nice to us. Zack has a feeling he is going to get a scouts calling and I think he would do GREAT!!! We went to the Las Vegas Temple on Saturday and it was AMAZING!! We can't wait to go again. We have been having a fun time doing all of our "firsts" together. Our First-
*Night in our house
*Home-cooked meal
*Temple Visit
*Rearranging of the house
*Movie night
*Swim in our little Pool
*Lay in bed and talk about absolutely nothing till we fall asleep
*Visitors ( thanks to Cheltz and Penny & Aaron)
And all of our firsts so far have been amazing. We are so blessed and so grateful for all that we have and the very special people in our lives that support us.

This is our first home cooked meal in our new home- We both do equal amounts of cooking- we both love to cook. Zack is amazing at the BBQ. He always has everything grilled to perfection. Love ya Hon

The Countdown is ON
